Here is a tale for the juveniles : a short
'story. Bless their liule hearts—we would
not give them a long one, lest they should
leave it half read to go and play with their
hale bobbies. and never have patience to
real us again.
There was once a boy. Now don't cry
yet; fimr there has been once a boy and
twice a boy ; but this, we would have you
to know, was a certain boy that lived in a
certain place—we are not permitted to tell
where. His mother became a woman of
serarws and died. That grieves us, but
oath most be told. He and a little sister' s
were left alitione. for their father was
a drunkard. Hand in baud they went ,
forth into the street, and sat down upon a
marble carriage step, fronting a large brick
dwelling. The cold stone-seat struck an
other chill to their desolate hearts ; they
looked into the windows of the rich man
sion and saw young faces bright and hap
py there, glowing in the sunshine of health
and plenty ; and they wept. It made
them feel- more keenly their-own hapless
condition.
And there they sat—without covering
to their heads or shoes to their feet, and
their thin garments " all tattered and torn."

Yes, sir." responded the boy ; and at
this moment the rude wind played rough

their this garments; the boy drew his sis

by the hand, and led them away.
A short time after this we attended a

The Unexpected Friend.
"It must be, my child !" said the poor
widow, wiping away the tears which
slowly trickled down her wasted cheeks.
"There is no other resource. lam too
sick to work, and you cannot. surely, see
me and your little brothers, starve. Try
and beg a few shillings, and perhaps by
the time that iegone, I may be better.—
Go, Henry, my dear ;—I grieve to send
you on such an errand; but it must be
done."
The boy, a noble looking little fellow of
about ten years, started up, and throwing
his arms about his mother's neck, left the
how without a wprd, He did not hear
the groan of anguish that was totemd by
his parent as the door closed behind him ;
and it was well he did not, for his little
heart was ready to break without it. It
was a by-street in Philadelphia, and as he
walked to and fro on the sidewalk, he look
ed first at one person' then at another, as
they passed him, but no oue seemed to
look kindly on him, and the longer he
waited, the faster his courage dwindled
away, and the more difficult it became to
beg. The tears were running fast down
his cheeks, but nobody noticed them, or if
they did, nobody seemed to care ; for al
though clean, Henry looked poor and:mi
serable, and it is common for the poor and
miserable to cry !
Every body seemed in a hurry, and the'
poor boy was quite'-in despair, w hen at
last he espied a gentleman An seemed to '
be very leisurly taking a walk. He was 1 1
dressed in black, wore. a three cornered
hat, and a face that was mild and benig
nant as an angel's. Somehow, when
Henry looked at him, he felt all his tears
vanish at once, anti instantly approached
him. His tears had been flowing so long
that his eyes were quite swollen, and his
voice trembled—but that was with weak
ness, for he had not eaten anything for
twenty-four hours. As Henry, with a low,
faltering voice, begged for a little charity,
the gentleman stopped, and his kind heart
melted with compassion as he looked in
to the fair countenance of the boy, and
saw the deep blush which spread over his
face, and listened to the modest, humble
tones which accompanied his petition.
"You do not look like a boy that has
been accustomed to beg his bread," said
he kindly, laying his hand on the boy's
shoulders ; "what has driven you to this
step !"
"Indeed," answered Henry, his tears
beginning to flow afresh, "indeed I was
not born in this condition. But the mis
fortunes of my father and the sickness of
my mother, have driven me to the necees
sits- now."
"Who is your father T" inquired the
gentleman, still more interested.
"My father was a rich merchant of this
city ; but he became bondsman for a friend,
who soon after failed, and he was entirely
ruined, lie could not live alter this loss,
and in one month's time died of grief, and
his death was more dreadful than any oth
er trouble. My mother, my little brother,
and myself, soon sunk into the lowest
depths of poverty. My mother has, until
now, managed to support herself and my
little brother by her labor, and I have
earned what I could by shovelling snow
and other work that I could find to do,—
But night before last mother was taken
very sick, and she has since become so
much worse thar—here the tears pOured
faster than ever—"l do fear she will die.
I cannot think of any way in the world to
help her. I have not had any work to do
for several weeks. I have not had the
courage to go to any of my mother's old
acquaintances, and tell them that she htul
come to .need charity. I thought you
looked like a stranger, sir, and something
in your rase overcame my shame and gave
me courage tosPeak to you. O, sir, da
pity my poor mother I"
The tears, and the simple and moving
language of the poor boy touched a chord
in the breast of the ill-anger that was ac
customed to frequent vibrations. .

peared weak, and 'almost exhausted ; and
on the Iled at, her feet, sat a little boy, cry
ing as if his heart would break.
Deeply moved at this eight, the stranger
drew near the bedside of the invalid, and
feigning to be a physician, inquired into
the nature of her disease. The symptoms
were explained in a few words, when the
widow, with a deep sigh; added, "0, sir,

down her cheeks. Bet the pretended
physician spoke so consoling to her, and
manifested so warm a 'eympathy fer her
condition, that the heart of the poor wo
man throbbed with a pleasure that was
unwonted.
" Do not despair," said the benevolent
stranger, " think only of recovery and of
preserving a life that so precious to your
children. Can I writes prescription here
The poor widow took a little prayer
book from the hand of the child who_oni
with her on the bed, and, tearing out .-a
blank leaf, " I have no. other paper," said
she, "but perhaps this will doe"

lie laid the paper on the table and went
away.
Scarcely had he gone when the elder
son returned.
" Cheer up, dear mother," said he, go
ing to her bedside and affectionately kiss
ing her. "See what a kind, benevolent
airanger has given us. It will make us
rich for several days. It has enabled us
to have a physician, and he will be here
in a moment. Compose yourself, now,
dear mother, and take couragi."
" Come nearer, my son," anewered the
mother, looking with pride and affection
on her child. " Come nearer, that I may
bless you. God never forsakes the inno
cent and the good. 0 may He still watch
over you in all your paths ! A physician
has just been here. He was a stranger,
but ho spoke to me with a kindness and a
thatcompassion was a balm to my heart.
When he went away he left that prescrip
tion on the table ; see if you can read it."
Henry glanced at the paper and started
back—he took it up, and as he read through
again and again, a cry of wonder and as
tonishment escaped him. °
" What is it, my son " exclaimed the
poor widow, trembling with an apprehen
sions of she knew not what.
" Ah. read, read, mother I God has

The mother took the paper from the
hand of her son, but no sooner had she fix
ed her eyes upon it, than "my God !"
she exclaimed, " it is Washington !" and
fell back, fainting ,upon her pillow..
